Additional information
The toxicity to soil macroorganisms was determined in an acute toxicity study using the earthworm (Eisena fetida). The study was performed according to GLP and in line with the standardised guideline OECD 207. Worms were exposed to the test material for 14 days at the following nominal concentrations: 162, 270, 450, 750 and 1250 mg a.i./kg dry soil. Artificial soil was used as the substrate. A solvent control was run concurrently for comparison.
Under the conditions of the test, no mortalities were observed in any of the exposure groups. All worms appeared normal in appearance and behaviour throughout the study. Average group body weight measurements showed no apparent treatment-related effects and there were no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) observed in body weight change among worms in the treatment groups when compared to the controls. On Day 0, all worms were either beneath the soil surface or in the process of burrowing by the ¾ hour observation interval. On Day 7 all worms had burrowed by 3½ hours following replacement on the soil surface following observations for mortality. No mortalities were observed in the controls over the 14 day test period and all control worms appeared normal in appearance and behaviour throughout the test.
The 14 day LC50 was determined to be >1250 mg a.i./kg dry soil, the highest concentration tested. The NOEC was determined to be 1250 mg a.i./kg dry soil.
The study was performed to a high standard, in line with GLP and standardised guidelines. Accordingly, the study has been assigned a reliability score of 1 in line with the principles for assessing data quality set out in Klimisch (1997). The available data are deemed to be relevant, reliable and adequate for the purposes of risk assessment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
